Fried Dumplings

We all know oil and water don't mix.  That is why we shake our salad dressings so furiously.

Today, I stepped into a new gastronomical area: I intended to fry up chinese dumplings.

I am a pilgrim descendent.  Boston baked beans and SPAM are our culinary skills. (Better than the Brits by a long shot, but nonetheless sort of limited).

So this was quite an adventure.  I donned protective clothing, goggles and such just to be safe and fired the stove up. Tossed the dumplings in.  There was a ferocious amount of spitting and all manner of mayhem, but I was using 2 foot long BBQ implements, so I persevered.

Darned good fried dumplings. There is hope for us Pilgrims yet.
